Engineered by Yamaha for the atv motorcycle segment, the 2019 Yamaha YFZ450R relies on a 449 cc (27.4 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 95.0 x 63.4 mm (3.7 x 2.5 inches) with a 11.8:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the YFZ450R measures 184 kg (406 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 810 mm (31.9 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,270 mm (50 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 10-liter (2.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
